After a long and much anticipated wait, the final episode of Mortal Kombat: Legacy was released yesterday at the San Diego Comic-Con International.

The episode can can be seen at GameSpot and it includes a small Panel Excerpt featuring director Kevin Tancharoen along side Ed Boon and Legacy's cast members Shane Warren Jones (Cyrax) , Peter Shinkoda (Sektor) and Darren Shahlavi (Kano) among others.

The ninth and last episode of the exciting Mortal Kombat: Legacy series features the origins of Cyrax and Sektor. It centers around the Lin Kuei's desire to transform all of its clan members into supreme Cyborg-assassins of great technology.

As previously confirmed in our Exclusive Interview with Shane W. Jones, the episode also features the surprising appearance of the Lin Kuei assassin, Hydro, a character that was created for the Mortal Kombat (Blood & Thunder) Malibu Comic Book series back in 1993.

Images of Hydro and the other Cyborgs were released by Kevin Tancharoen via his twitter account:

Meanwhile, co-creator of Mortal Kombat, Ed Boon, has been updating his own twitter account with updates concerning the MK: Legacy series such as a huge promotional banner featuring Sonya Blade and Jax along side Scorpion and Sub-Zero as well other things pertaining to the Comic-Con Event in San Diego:

Though we are sad to see the end of the successful Mortal Kombat: Legacy Series, we can't help but to feel excited (and hopeful) for the future of Mortal Kombat, as the possibility of a new live-action film or extended television series is still not out of the question. We would like to thank and congratulate the entire MK:Legacy crew and cast for bringing this project to life.
